Family Portraits at Ridley Creek are always my absolute favorite! As a photographer with a yearly permit for Ridley Creek, I’m privileged to capture beautiful family moments in one of the most stunning locations in the area. Nestled in the heart of Pennsylvania, Ridley Creek offers a breathtaking backdrop that transforms with the seasons, making it an ideal location for family portraits all year round.

A Year-Round Paradise

Ridley Creek is a lush haven of natural beauty, showcasing a diverse array of seasonal flowers and gorgeous trees. Whether it’s the vibrant blooms of spring, the rich greenery of summer, the warm hues of fall, or the serene beauty of winter, the park provides a picturesque setting that enhances every photograph.

Nature’s Beauty Meets Historic Charm

One of the unique features of Ridley Creek is its perfect blend of natural beauty and historic charm. The park boasts a variety of hand-crafted stone structures, including historic steps and arches that add an element of timeless elegance to any photo session. These features not only provide a stunning contrast to the lush greenery but also tell a story of their own, adding depth and character to your Family Portraits at Ridley Creek.

My Favorite Spots

• Water Features: The gentle flow of water adds a serene and dynamic element to photos. It’s perfect for candid shots of families enjoying the natural beauty around them.
• Historic Steps and Arches: These features provide a touch of historical charm and make for beautiful, structured backdrops.
• Seasonal Blooms: Each season brings its own palette of colors, from the pastels of spring to the rich, warm tones of autumn. These natural elements make every session unique.

Perfect for Families Who Appreciate Nature

Ridley Creek is more than just a beautiful location; it’s a place where families can connect with nature. The park’s expansive grounds and diverse landscapes offer plenty of opportunities for families to explore and create memories. Whether you’re a nature enthusiast or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of handcrafted stone structures set against a backdrop of natural splendor, Ridley Creek has something for everyone.

Fall is for pumpkins, and super cute studio portraits in Galloway, NJ with your littles!

I love sitting my kids in front of a cute set up and letting them just be themselves. It’s so important to capture their real personalities so when I look back, I can remember who they were that year. Were they happy or sad? Were they thoughtful and kind? A portrait can tell so much more than just a beautiful face. (And yes, of course ALL of our babies are beautiful) but I want to remember them for their sillies and the smiles and I love allowing them to have direction of their own. Want to grab that pillow? Go for it! Want to hug that bucket or toss a pumpkin, totally fine with me! I want your kids to enjoy this experience and go home talking all day about how much fun it was to have their studio portraits in Galloway, NJ at Bokeh Love Photography!

Jersey Shore Beach Portraits are the very best activity to invest in while on vacation! I say activity because it’s so much more than just a photo session. Having fun with your family and documenting every moment is so special. You are making fabulous memories and will always remember this wonderful time with your family. I grew up a the beach, and it is my favorite place to be. Living in South Jersey has always been the best. I’ve been lucky enough to see the beach in all of the seasons, eaten ice cream and pizza after beach visits and walked on the boardwalk with cotton candy, Johnsons popcorn! I’ve had Polish Water Ice on warm summer nights, and I’ve sat on the beach talking for hours at night listening to the waves crash on the beach. To say I am lucky is an understatement.

As a professional photographer I am able to share my love of the beach, and of family with my amazing clients who come down here for amazing Jersey Shore Beach Portraits! My favorite place to photograph is in Ventnor, however, all of our beaches are beautiful! My favorite time is one hour before the sun starts to set. The beaches are mostly people free, and the sun is setting and giving us that beautiful golden hour every photographer craves! The water is the warmest in July and August, and after each session I always encourage some water fun! What’s a trip to the beach without that?

If you would love to have your beautiful Jersey Shore Beach Portraits taken by Bokeh Love Photography in Ventnor, Brigantine, Ocean City, Longport, Margate, or any other beach town, reach out to me today so I can get you on my schedule! You will NOT be disappointed! lauren@bokehlovephotography.net

I had the honor of photographing the Brooks family for their Summer Family Session in Galloway, NJ. Summer doesn’t always have to be the beach! There are so many beautiful locations that are often forgotten when the sun comes out! Yes, we love the beach and all things sandy and warm, BUT we don’t want to forget about all of the gorgeous hidden gems around Atlantic County! One of my favorite places to go is none other than Stockton University in Galloway, NJ! It’s right around the corner for me which is always nice, but more than that it’s BEAUTIFUL. Stockton does such a fabulous job at landscaping their grounds! It’s perfect for portraits, and even a picnic! (Seriously, bring a picnic basket to your session, that would be so adorable!)

Having your Summer Family Session in Galloway, NJ is so relaxing. Galloway is a not considered a shore town, so it’s usually quiet during the summer months. However, there are so many beautiful hidden gems within Galloway that make you really glad you decided to stop here. You’ve got multiple bay locations, campgrounds, a gorgeous university, and countless parks and playgrounds. It’s the perfect location for a summer portrait session.

I am a South Jersey Portrait Photographer. It’s what I do. It’s what I love. I am so lucky that my children love to get in front of the camera for whatever reason. This portrait session however, had an AMAZING reason. My daughter won a trophy. Yep! I think that deserves a photo session!

My daughter is an Irish Dancer. She makes me so proud. This past weekend, she attended a WIDA (World Irish Dance Association) Feis where she placed 1st place in the beginner premiership category. I was shocked, not because I didn’t think she could do it, but because she never had and this whole experience is new for us. Her teacher, Miss Kate is phenomenal. She is by far the best dance teacher I have ever met. She is passionate about dance, kind to all of the children, and she teaches them respect, structure, and everything they need to know to be good competitors. Even if they do not win, they are proud to be there, and all of the parents are proud that they tried and had fun! At the end of the day, it’s about having fun and enjoying what you’re doing! If you’d like to check out the school, and see if your son or daughter would like to become an Irish Dancer, here is the website: http://www.emeraldisleacademy.com/

It was a proud moment for me as Mom to see my daughter in just as much shock as me when she realized she had won first place. Tears were flowing from my eyes, and all of her friends and their families were cheering her on! My little irish dancer is moving on up. I am happy for her that she’s found something she is passionate about, and I can’t wait to see where this takes us! I can’t wait to take more photos of her winning and achieving new things! Good thing I am a South Jersey Portrait Photographer! I can easily take her portraits whenever she does something great!

Tonight we got the news that she will be moving up to hard shoe! (That’s the dance where they make a lot of noise when their feet hit the floor, during the jig) She took this news as basically hitting the lottery. She has wanted to make noise since she first saw the irish dance assembly at her school. I am so looking forward to her growing and loving every moment!

Of course, I just had to take portraits of her displaying her trophy proudly! (And if you scroll all the way to the bottom, you will see her puppy Princess Fiona just had to get in on the fun!)
